1. Dividing a Decimal by a Whole

Number

EXAMPLE 1:

STEP 1: Divide the numbers the way you

divide whole numbers.
a. Divide the first digit of the dividend.
This becomes the first digit of the
quotient.
b. Multiply 0 and divisor 5: 0 x 5 = 0.
Write the product in the second row.
c. Subtract: 1 – 0 =1. Write the product.

STEP 2: Bring down the next digit of the

dividend, which is 5, and annex t to 1. This
becomes the new dividend.
a. Divide the new dividend by the
divisor: 15 ÷ 5 = 3. this becomes the
second digit of the quotient.
b. Multiply 3 and divisor 5: 3 x 5 = 15.
write the product in the fourth row.
c. Subtract: 15 – 15 = 0. since 0 is less
than the divisor. Stop dividing
STEP 3: Put the decimal point of the quotient
directly above the decimal point of the
dividend.
Clyde : The answer is 0.3 ma’am.
Hence, what is the answer Clyde?
Very good Clyde!
EXAMPLE 2:

STEP 1: Divide 5.2 ÷ 3 = 1 remainder 3. Put

1 as the first digit of the quotient. Multiply 1
x3=3
STEP 2: Bring down the next digit of the
dividend in the third row and annex it to 2 to
form the new dividend 22.
STEP 3: Divide 22 ÷ 3 = 7 remainder 1. Put
7 as the second digit of the quotient.
Multiply: 7 x 3 = 21.
Subtract: 22 – 21 = 1. Write 1 in the fourth
row.
STEP 4: Annex extra placeholder (0) to the
dividend. Bring down 0 in the fifth row and
annex it to 1 tp form the new dividend.
STEP 5: Divide: 10 ÷ 3 = 3 remainder 1. Put
2 as the third digit of the quotient.
Multiply: 3 x 3 = 9. Subtract: 10 – 9 = 1.
Repeat step 4.
STEP 6: Since 3 is a recurring digit in the
quotient, put a bar over the recurring digit or
write 3 dots after the recurring part.

This means that 5.2 divided by 3 is equal to

1.73 or 1.733…

There are 2 classifications of decimals. The

repeating and the terminating.
1. Repeating Decimal – decimal that
contains a digit or groups of digits
that repeat endlessly. The quotient in
our example, which is 1.733… Castiel: Number 3 ma’am.
represents a repeating decimals.
What is the number that repeats endlessly
Castiel?
Yes very good Castiel!
2. Terminating Decimal – is a decimal
that contains a finite number of digits
after the decimal point. An example
of terminating decimal is the quotient
in example 1.
 Yes ma’am
Is it clear?

Example 3:

First, Place the decimal point in the quotient

directly above the decimal point in the
dividend Then divide as we normally would.
Yes we are!
Do you understand?
Okay let us answer. Kian: Yes ma’am
So Kian, can you show me your answer with
your solution?

Example 4:
Zeph:
Zeph, what is your answer?

Very good Zeph!

3. Dividing a Decimal by a Decimal

You have learned in the previous lesson how

to multiply by 10. That is when multiplying a
decimal by 10, move the decimal point 1
place to the right. Remember that division is
the inverse of multiplication. Therefore,
when dividing a number or a decimal by 10,
simple move the decimal point 1 decimal
place to the left.

For example:
1.4 ÷ 10 1.4 = 0.14

Likewise, when dividing number or a

decimal by 100, simply move the decimal
point 2 decimal places to the left.
Myong-i: 23.5 ÷ 100 = 0.235
So Myong-I, what is 23.5 ÷ 100 =?
Very good Myong-i!
23.5 ÷ 100 23.5 = 0.235
Danica: 1.457 ÷ 100 = 0.01457
How about 1.457 ÷ 100 Danica? (Pupils will do the clap.)
Fantastic Danica!
1.457 ÷ 100 1.457 = 0.01457

Also, when dividing a number or a decimal

by 1,000 simply move the decimal point 3
decimal places to the left.
For example:
1. 35 ÷ 1,000 = ?
2. 124.8 ÷ 1,000 = ? Job: 35 ÷ 1,000 = 0.035
Yes what is the answer in number 1 Job?
Very good Job!
Charisse : 124.8 ÷ 1,000 = 0.1248
How about in number 2 Charisse?
That’s correct Charisse!

To divide a decimal by a power of 10, move

the decimal point as many decimal places as
there are zeros in the power of 10.
You can also divide decimals by 0.1, 0.01,
and 0.001. Remember that 0.1, 0.01, and
0.001 are equivalent to fractions 1/10, 1/100,
and 1/1000, respectively. When dividing a
number or a decimal by 0.1, simply move the
decimal point 1 decimal place to the right.
For example:
1. 7 ÷ 0.1 = 7 ÷ 1/10 = 7 x 10 = 70;

2. 85 ÷ 0.1 = 850.
Atasha: We are going to move the decimal
How about when dividing by 0.01 Atasha? point 2 decimal places to the right.
Excellent Atasha!
Abiel : Simple move the decimal point 3
How about when dividing by 0.001 Abiel? decimal places to the right.

Example: 5 ÷ 0.01 = 500

Zeph: 8 ÷ 0.0001 = 8,000
How about 8 ÷ 0.0001 Zeph?
Gaby: 7.5 ÷ 0.1 = 75.
Another, What is 7.5 ÷ 0.1 Gaby?

Steps in Dividing a Decimal by a Decimal

STEP 1: change the divisor into a whole

number by moving the decimal point one or
more decimal places to the right.
STEP 2: move the decimal point of the
dividend the same number of places as the
divisor.
STEP 3: Divide the dividend by the divisor
just the way you divide whole numbers.
STEP 4: Write the decimal point of the
quotient directly above the decimal point in
the dividend.
E. Generalization

Very good Prince!

There are steps that we should remember (students raising their hands.)
right? What are those?
Yes Marco? Marco: Step 1, change the divisor into a
Very good Marco! whole number by moving the decimal point
one or more decimal places to the right.
How about the step 2 Hailey? Hailey: move the decimal point of the
Excellent Hailey! dividend the same number of places as the
divisor.
How about step 3 Mathew? Mathew: Divide the dividend by the divisor
Fantastic Mathew! just the way you divide whole numbers.

How about step 4 Anjelic? Anjelic: Write the decimal point of the
quotient directly above the decimal point in
the dividend.
Excellent Anjelic!

What is the quotient of 23.64 and 0.04? Lourdes: 23.64 ÷ 0.04 = 591
Yes Lourdes?
Very good Lourdes!

Solution:
23. 64 ÷

0.04
